This is good habit. Keep it up. I dont see any reason why you trade it for a serious face to attend interview. I was just wondering who gives you the idea that you had to hold a serious face for interview?

Yah and please define air plane too. The answer can be obtained through volumetric calculation provided we know if it is a jumbo jet, concorde, 747 ...

Speak more to gain confidence. Your english is acceptable by malaysian standards.

Ya, same with good student that panic when in exams hall. Learn to control you nervousness.

15 -60 min. Both Q&A.

+1 The boss must at least see who he is hiring.

Treat it as a formal interview.

The purpose is to gauge your presentation skills. Although you had already planned how to handle try not to do it too fluently. Have a good intro but make it look like you are thinking out as you speak. Go briefly but deliver it like train on the on the content (summarised educaton, employement, and family back ground if you like). For the conclusion (3-4 sentences to sell yourself) deliver it with the finesse of a well groom public speaker.

No its not normal but it is not just you only.
This show lack of confidence on your part. There are many people who lack confidence too. Don't treat this as a consolation. You carry this lack of confidence for the interview and you can say goodbye to being employed.

Instead of spending the night trying to get to sleep you could prepare yourself. With preparation comes confidence. With practise one day you will be prepared at all times. That will be the day where you will not tense up on a phone call.

What has opinion on smoking got to do with the job I applied for?

Calculative employer. Like to bit around the bush. I am not too interested to work here. Sorry I guess I need to terminate this interview.

Seriously, if you can command a 5k salary you should know how to negotiate your remuneration package.

People who say they are team player are actually not. I will not say I am but I know when to follow instruction and when to lead should it be required.

Then interviewer will think you "pandai pandai want to jawab balik" attitude. Its better to "buat bodoh" ask to test waters.

Ahhh you seem to have attended a lot of interviews. Sometimes cocky interviewer just need to be put where they belong. I remember my last job I really give the interviewer a good shelling. When it was my turn to ask question I gave him a tough question. His answer was "this only the management will know". I responded, "Gee, believe it or not if I ask any 7 years who just started school they will give me the same answer?" He was stunned as he did not expect an interviewee would dare to insult him. I spare no mercy, "Wanna put a wager on it? You pick the school and we go ask 10 Std 1 students there. *knock knock on table* Hah, I don't think so. What's your position here by the way?" I walk off saying, "thanks I know my way out".

Actually the guy insulted me first but I won't get into that story. So, I was just waiting for my chance to get even.

I don't see anything wrong with it but it will not rush my decision making process.
